So 1080 for small pieces and DiNoc for the larger things? I'm about to order a roll of this stuff. I was going to wrap my fixie bike as test case.

Dinoc is I believe a thicker material...need to check to be sure

as it has been about two years since I have messed with the Dinoc. The 1080 film is very thin and is basically the same film that vehicle wraps are usually done with when the wrap is printed. The film conforms to curves better than the thicker Dinoc film. Dinoc I think is only rated for interior application as well though I know lots of people use it externally but I am not sure how well it holds up. I would use the 1080 myself but that may be because I am more used to using the thinner material.

plastidip worked great on my old 986... plus you can just peel it off if you don't like the finish.

technique while spraying is hugely important to the end result. shoot lots of light coats from 8 inches. They will dry fast. Use at least 4 coats.
